Substance 3D Painter

What settings are recommended from exporting a textured model to Substance 3D Painter? For 3D formats, there is a choice of:For texture formats, here by example of PLY, there is a choice of:

  The Substance 3D team will be at GDC on March 18-22, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Our keynote presentation will take place on March 18; so will sessions including: The Art and Technology Behind Creating Characters for Baldur’s Gate 3, by Alena Dubrovina, Art Director at Larian Studios; The Environment Art Technology and Workflows of Alan Wake 2, by Miro Vesterinen and Benjamin Lindquist of Remedy Entertainment; and Tips & Tricks in Adobe Substance 3D Painter to Make Semi-realistic Textures, by 3D Character Artist Anna Beganskaya.   March 18 is also the date of the famous Substance 3D afterparty: meet the teams who create the tools, and generally have an awesome time in a relaxed setting. You can register to attend the afterparty >>right here<<.

Does anyone know if this export plugin no longer works?In this version. the plugin is still in SP/plugins folder, just greyed out.Thank BradSubstance 3D Painter, version 8.3.1Build 2451

Our team is running into a problem in which if we create Smart Materials that contains Paths and/or Warp Projections  and apply that Smart Material to the same Texture Set, but have subsequently added a new Texture Set to the fbx prior to applying the Smart Material, the existing Paths/Warp Projections within the Smart Material are scaled incorrectly in relation to the updated geometry. For example the paths look like they're scaled up 10 times the original size. Steps:1. Texture_Set_A containing paths or warp projections, create a Smart Material.  2. Import a new fbx with the original Texture_Set_A, but add a Texture_Set_B to the project. 3. Apply the smart material made from the previous Texture_Set_A containing paths/warp projections to the updated Texture_Set_A (which now also includes the Texture_Set_B addition).4. Results in paths/warp projections no longer matching the scale or world space position of the original Texture_Set_A I have double and tri

Adobe, Allegorithmic team, please pay close attention to this bug in the program and make a solution!I often use the "Height To Normal" filter in my work and now I noticed a very nasty bug.There are 2 layers, each isolated its own group, so that one layer would not affect the other in any way. But when I put a display flag on one layer, I can clearly see how the intensity of the other layer decreases. Although they cannot influence each other in any way. I'll attach a simple test file where the bug is clearly visible. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ws6fpdx0is2fea5elpsur/h?rlkey=xs5lv73b0e5b2uo3ns0tcrk87&dl=0   

Hello. IM using substance painter 9.1 and im running into a weird issue with my bakeing. Im doing a somewhat complex model, and for some reason, on one particular part, the baker is treating it as if there's a massive square in the middle of a flat face. Ive looked over the UV's, normals, face orientation, made sure to mark sharps and everything, and the bug is still there.Any ideas on what could be the cause would be appreciated. Its not a critical bug, but more of an annoyance than anything. Thank you for your time. 

Does anyone know how to fix this? Upon opening Substance painter I get this error at the bottom of the screen, it stays there during my duration of usage and doesn't go away.  Processor AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.79 GHzInstalled RAM 32.0 GBWindows 11 ProNvidia RTX 3070Adobe Substance painter Version 9.1.2

I have a model, along with UV's, created in Blender. When I apply textures to the materials, in Blender, everything is perfect, but when import it in Substance Painter, I just get a jumble of artefacts and weirdness.

Is it possible to make edits to a mesh and re-import geometry changes in substance painter 8.3.0, at all?This was possible in earlier versionsBasically, I want to take an existing model, an do a damadged destroyed version.Thanks

  I have this only if I drop a filter  as a layer . It makes unnesassary complication . Otherwize I could access  only to content of current layer the anchor is on  .   Am I missing something?

 Hi all, as seen in the picture below, I'm looking to bake the textures of the object on the right to the object on the middle to fill in the dark spots, but I can't quite figure out the method yet. Does anyone have any pointers or a methodology to follow if they've done this before? Thanks!

This seems to be there on purpose but it has been annoying me since the beginning of Painter. Why isn't it possible to export textures to multiple .psd files, just like exporting .tga files? The exporter will always ignore the export preset and will just export only one .psd file with a bunch of layers. Why would that be useful? At first I thought this must be a bug, and nobody cared to fix it. But it is even noted under the exported maps:This makes no sense to me. Please make this setting optional. I would prefer to have the choice of using .psd files like any other fileformat.

Hello all, I'm a newbie here i've tried lots of things but don't know where else to turn. The problemClear seam running down the barrel where the material meets iteself, See first image, Seems to be related to the world space normals attached to the grunge map as turning off the normal channel on the grunge map makes the issue go away. However, the seam is not visible on the world space normal map(or any map for that matter)What I've already tried. Changing projection settings to TriplanarChanging the grunge map to use Triplanar mappingChanging the grunge map to just use the normal map, rather than the world space normalsUsing the updated version of the "Finish Rough" FilterRebakingAdjusted the UV map so there is space between the UV islandsusing a pass through layer, then clone brush then painting over the seam. (This worked but imo looked messy and there feels like a better way of  fixing this)

Or only square ones are possible?  I mean something like in corel painter , 3d coat , zbrush and lots of other soft where you can take a photo of long more or less straight seam or crack, make a brush from it and then you can paint it having each stroke starts from random V value ? Having extra start /end dabs if necessary , alternate to another long dab ID at certain V point etc. Never looking repeating or artificial . I hate square shaped brushes , either in Photoshop or elsewhere , they always look fake whatever random things you put over .My guess it should be possible now with pen curve based strokes at least , right ? like in almost evry vector soft . Have anyone managed to do one?
